The orientation and distribution of hydrides formed in zirconium alloy nuclear fuel cladding can strongly influence material behavior and in particular resistance to crack growth. The hydride microstructure and platelet orientation are crucial to determining cladding failure during mechanical testing. Hydride formation is normally studied by post-facto metallography, performed at room temperature and in the absence of applied stress. This study uses synchrotron radiation to observe in- situ the kinetics of hydride dissolution and precipitation in previously hydrided Zircaloy samples. The exper...
